Place the oil in a pot over medium heat. Stir in the flour to create a light roux. Cook for a few minutes until the color darkens a little bit and there is a nutty scent. Stir in the seasonings and cook for another minute or so. Slowly add in the milk while whisking to prevent clumps. Add the nutritional yeast and RO*TEL. Bring to a low simmer then remove from heat. Serve warm.

OMG!! (*hyperventilates*)
This was so SO SO SO GOOOOD!!!
I didn’t have paprika, and only had plain, unsweetened almond milk – but it was A-W-E-S-O-M-E!!! Can you bottle this and sell it? To me?
(OK, I can make my own, but I want more nowwwwwwwwwwwww…)

Personally, I LOVED the slightly “nutty” flavor from the almond-milk, though the milder milks like oat would be really good here too.
Thanks so very much!! Again, YUM!!!!!!!!!!
